Also keep in mind, that specific inservices are required by CMS for healthcare workers. Please see Kay, in Human Resources to inquire about the status of your inservices.

Colorado Law recognizes certain rights and responsibilities of qualified patients and health care providers under the End-of-Life Options Act. Under the Act, a health care provider, including Kiowa County Hospital District is not required to assist a qualified patient in ending that patient's life. At this time, Kiowa County Hospital District has chosen not to participate under the Act. Kiowa County Hospital District caregivers will still provide all other requested end-of-life and palliative care and other services to patients and families. Any patient that wishes to request medical aid-in-dying medication while a patient at Kiowa County Hospital District will be assisted in transfer to another facility of the patient's choice.
